If its wat I think it is ..I.e anencephaly...the prognosis of that child is poor even after surgery cos she has to battle with a lot issues...infections and many more. With God all things are possible sha....kudos to the reps sha...if u a doc,u know wats goin on in ma mind already....

who are they fooling? Maybe every sick person should go and occupy the NASS

This isn't about your moribund prayer. Its about science and giving! This girl need those 100 naira than your pastor.

A baby born without skull is a non living being.

I've told u guys to start patronizing our own scientists. I jes concluded a research in which I can use calabash instead of going abroad for a new skull!

Thank God for this move to save a life. You never know what that child may become tomorrow. God bless our reps.

So how much is 10 million that one of them can't bring out... This ain't news biko.....

I watched the news on TV yesterday, really beautiful baby I must confess.
I wish her goodluck and quick recovery on her surgery.

The baby needs God's healing power to fall upon her. Its not what money can do. May God help her out
